Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn’t played in his team’s game since leaving after four snaps in the regular season opener. Will he be back in the building Sunday night against the Jets?
He made clear hints about this during his appearance on Tuesday with Pat McAfee.
Rodgers reportedly intends to return to the Jets as soon as he can walk. The team will benefit greatly from his presence. Players need to hear from him directly. It can help players calm down. He can help quarterback Zach Wilson focus on what needs to be done to win some games.
Rodgers sounds like a voice of reason in this storm of confusion and frustration about the Jets. He should call Joe Namath and politely tell him to shut up. And Rodgers should continue to say the things he said on Tuesday.
Players are not allowed to point fingers. They have to work together. They have to do their best to win every game, and then when it’s over, they have to prepare for the next train to roll down the tracks.
Let’s not assume they have no chance of beating the Chiefs on Sunday, especially with Rodgers there to rally the troops. Anything can happen in any game, as the Cowboys found out in their loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
